Now as a mother of four, Rachel has grappled with dating (and marrying) a well-known Kiwi, with the struggles of fertility and insomnia, and is intrigued by topics like feminism, Marxism and motherhood. Rachel joins Joanna Kearney to navigate those areas, and more, in this episode of the Catholic Kiwi Podcast.
